About the author

Project Gutenberg lists M. Tela as the author of Isien töitä: Piirteitä suurmiestemme elämästä, a Finnish-language work. An Amazon listing for the ebook edition describes the book as presenting sketches from the lives of major figures in Finnish history, with an educational aim for younger readers.

Beyond that book credit, reliable biographical details about M. Tela are very scarce in the sources I could confirm. I could not verify basic facts such as the author's full name, life dates, or a broader bibliography, so this appears to be one of those writers who survives in catalogs more clearly than in modern biographical reference works.

That limited record still gives a sense of the author's role: a concise, history-minded storyteller whose work seems designed to make national history approachable and meaningful for general readers, especially the young.
